The city is trashing the Knicks litterbug.

The Sanitation Department is raffling off five Knicks-themed trash cans to celebrate the team’s NBA Finals win — and they’ve taken a not-so-subtle dig at the notorious JP Morgan executive who went viral for stealing one off the parade route.

“No Need to Knick a Bin,” the department said in an ad for the contest. “The DSNY is giving away 5 Commemorative Knicks-Themed Litter Baskets.”

Unlike the “incredibly stupid” fan, the five lucky winners won’t need to grab the full-sized blue-and-orange baskets off the street, dump litter across the sidewalk and lug it home on the subway.

“Fouling up our sidewalks and stealing public property should always be out of bounds in New York City,” said DSNY Commissioner Gregory Anderson.

“There is no need to lift bins off the street. DSNY is thrilled to turn over five brand-new litter baskets to lucky Knicks fans, the same heavy baskets we use on the streets. Continue celebrating our championship team by going online today to enter – and leave the basket-tipping to New York’s Strongest.”

Only five of the baskets will be given away as part of the contest, and the winners will be chosen at random.

The 30-pound and 28-inch tall bins are the same dimensions as those that line Big Apple streets — but are brand new.

The winners must be New Yorkers, 18 and older and be able to pick it up from the department’s lower Manhattan office, DSNY said.

Applications must be submitted before 5 p.m. on July 3 at on.nyc.gov/basketgiveaway.

Winners will be selected later in the summer.

Losers can buy their own, smaller Knicks-themed bins from Only NY for $168.

The contest is the second time DSNY has ribbed the boneheaded Knicks fan who went viral for stealing a team-themed city trash can has returned the stolen goods — and was slapped with $175 in fines for the dirty deed.

The department shared a picture of the basket at its Financial District office after it was finally returned last week.

“Home sweet home,” the sanitation department said on X. “Welcome back! We missed you!”

The orange and blue receptacle was pilfered after an “incredibly stupid” fan — identified by sources as recently axed JPMorgan Chase exec Angie Baez — dumped the trash onto Broadway and walked off with the city-owned receptacle, department officials told The Post.

She was later snapped on the subway still lugging the basket.
